天空のエスカフローネ [Tenkū no Esukafurōne] [The Vision of Escaflowne] #1

A great entry point into the world of Escaflowne, this first volume from Kadokawa Comics A sets the stage with a striking cover featuring a blue-haired swordsman in a yellow coat clutching a massive blade, ready for battle against a looming mechanical backdrop, while a wide-eyed girl in an orange outfit watches anxiously from behind him. The sense of scale — that enormous armored form filling the background — hints at the mecha-fantasy adventure waiting inside. With manga by 克・亜樹 and original story by 矢立肇 and 河森正治, this adaptation brings a beloved creative collaboration to the page in vivid style.
